Sick kids

Well, i took two of the three kids to the doctor tonight for these coughs that have been lingering. Sounds like we’ll need to get Christian in tomorrow.

Alyson has the crud and is on antibiotics. She slurped them right down too 🙂

Brandon is also on antibiotics. He spit it out. I don’t know how I’m going to get him to swallow them tomorrow. The rest of the appointment was interesting though. The doctor (actually we saw the clinic nurse) said that Brandon’s ongoing cough is probably an immune response – not exactly asthma, but similar. She said he may grow out of it, but she said it’s very common when they have sensitive skin (Brandon’s only other prescription ever was Elidel for excema). She also found it interesting that Bill has asthma/allergies. So Brandon now gets to try kid Claritin every day, and he gets to try Alyson’s nebulizer. Great fun.

One thing I wanted to write about Brandon that’s so funny. The kid is obsessed with gas stations. He points out every single one we ever pass, tells us what color it is, and asks if we need gas. Too funny 🙂

Well, Alyson’s in the bathtub (love having a laptop) and her water just ran out (the seal wasn’t good), so I need to get her a bit more water and get her washed up. Hopefully they’ll all be feeling better again soon.
